By equipping one's home, every landlord achievesnot only beauty, but also reliability. In the first place we are talking about locks. They are quite a large number, different in price, features and characteristics. A separate place among them is occupied by an electromagnetic lock.
Device
Конструкция данного элемента несложная.The core is in the winding. It is located in a special housing. The core is made of sheets of electrical steel. The use of this material is due to the low magnetized effect. And to reduce the residual stress, it is enough to apply a special paint and varnish composition.

Principle of operation
The mechanism begins to function whenmagnetic elements are activated. This occurs during the energizing of the housing and the winding through the core. Only 5 watts of voltage is enough to connect doors with a weight of up to 150 kg.

Kinds
There are electromagnetic locks by the type of the locking device:
- Holders.
- Shifting.
In the shifting device, the magnet is fixed with the tongue of the lock, so such structures are to be inserted in the door or the gate.
In the retention variant, the magnet holds the flaps that open. Along the whole perimeter of the opening it is allowed to install several such elements.
Mounting Tools
The installation of an electromagnetic lock is not an easy task, so it can be done on its own. To do this, you need the following tools:
- Pencil to apply the necessary labels for installation.
- Drill. If you are installing a mortise structure, then under it you need to drill holes for fixing bolts.
- Screwdriver or screwdriver.
- Hammer and chisel.
- Building level and roulette.
Start of installation
Installing an electromagnetic door lockbegins with a marking at the installation site. It can be both horizontal and vertical. The main thing is to observe the indentation condition from the door hinges. Determine the space for the response plate by applying the main device to the canvas. Next is her stencil. Then the fittings are marked.

Determine the location of the corner of the platecan be applied by the main part of the lock. Next, the plate is moved to the desired side with a hexagon. The fixing bolt is loosened to check whether the door electromagnetic lock is correctly installed. A prerequisite for the correct functioning of the locking element is the parallel installation of the plate to the base.
Types of installation
The installation of an electromagnetic lock with your own hands depends on the type of door:
- Mounting is done from the top of the inside of the jamb, and the core is located in the center. The second element is placed on the opposite side. An additional type of fasteners are not needed.
- In a glass-type door, the installation is performed by making an internal contact arrangement, and instead of a steel plate, a corner is used. The door opens into the room.
- Electromagnetic lock, which is installed on a door with a narrow doorpost, is additionally supplied with corners. They help to expand the mounting area.
- When it is necessary for the door to open towards the lock, its pad and plate are fixed in a vertical position with the help of corners.
Further installation
Once the marking lines of the future lock are marked, drill holes.

In the niche, install the lock body, and then fix it. The response bar is established by the same principle.
Optional equipment
Electromagnetic lock, installation of basicelements of which are completed, requires the installation of additional equipment. They can be a controller, an input button or a power supply. These elements are installed indoors, but the reader is mounted from the outside. Additional devices are attached to the wall adjacent to the door, but not to its canvas.
To self-mount these items you need:
- make markup in the selected place;
- make holes for fasteners;
- to install and fix instruments.
Connectivity
Connect electromagnetic lock, installationwhich was produced independently, also easy. For this you need a circuit that is attached to the lock kit, and minimal skills in working with electricity.

Video Doorphone Connection
The video intercom is connected to the lock, as well as other elements, through the controller. In this case, a four-wire cable is already used. When connecting a video intercom, follow these steps:
- The communication panel located outside the room and the device must be connected. Often the communication panel and the reader are located in one place.
- Make the power connection from the doorphone to the controller.
- Additionally, connect the lock and the controller to allow the locking mechanism to be opened using a video intercom.
- Connect the panel to the controller.
Lock control capabilities
All control of the electromagnetic lock is made using the controller.

- signaling the opening of the lock;
- power supply for fixing the locking mechanism;
- key coding.
Already before using the lock, you must configure all the keys. This is done as follows:
- When you first connect the key that comes in the kit, bring to the controller.
- The controller must be transferred to the recording mode by means of a jumper.
- After that, the remaining keys are brought to the reader and programmed.
- The controller must be put into operation.
When all keys are prepared, the lock will automatically lock, and you can open it with one of the sets of ready-made keys.
Lock on the gate
Installation of an electromagnetic lock on the gate can be carried out independently. This will require the same set of tools as for mounting on the door. The sequence of actions is as follows:
- Holes of smaller diameter than screws are drilled in the metal frame of the gate.
- The fastening of the lock is carried out by screws.
- The reciprocal plate on a gate of a gate is fixed.
- The wires from the reading device pass through the far wicket case, while securing the device on the fence or wicket door.
- The controller is installed at a convenient distance and in place so that it is convenient to continue to read the keys from it.
- On the inner side of the gate is set the opening button.
After these manipulations, it is necessary to connect an electromagnetic lock, the installation of which was made on the fence gate.

So, we figured out how to install an electromagnetic lock with our own hands.
